Chapter 172
[You walked around here twenty-one times, kicked and broke six of my stone walls, five tables, three chairs, smashed seven of my teacups, nine of my teapots...]
A faint sound of scales rubbing against each other could be heard from a huge black stone wall. Faint flaky marks appeared on the stone wall. At the very bottom of the stone wall, rotten wood chips and porcelain fragments could be vaguely seen.
"What's wrong with throwing something at you?" Di Changqing, who had a jade-white horn on his head, a pair of milky white ears in his hair, and a lion's tail behind him, was very impatient. "When did you become so stingy, old man?"
【Don't call me old-fashioned.】
"Yes, yes, my lord, boss, my master———" Di Changqing rolled his eyes and kicked the black stone wall opposite him. A dent as big as a football appeared on the stone wall, but soon flaky scales reappeared and it returned to its original state.
When the stone wall was being repaired, a small stone bounced out from the stone wall and hit Di Changqing on the forehead, causing Di Changqing's dog ears to stand up.
"You old man, are you sick?" Di Changqing tried to kick the stone wall again, but was shocked back by the mysterious light reflected from the stone wall. He stepped on the tail of his mopping mop and gasped in pain.
[Replenishing blood vessels is a good thing, why are you so irritable? ]
"Ah, yes, yes, yes, sir, you are right." Di Zhangqing was like a powder keg that was about to explode. He wanted to make sarcastic remarks about everything he heard. "How about you go out with your unicorn-shaped dog ears and lion tail?"
【Only children care so much about face. 】
Di Changqing: “…”
Although the man was silent, his tail began to tap the ground unhappily, making a snapping sound.
[After your bloodline is fully replenished, your talents will also change accordingly, and some attachments will no longer be passively activated. ]
"How many years has it been opened? I'm used to it." Di Changqing's tail knocked the ground even louder. "I don't care."
[The number one on the list seems to be even more moody and eccentric after hearing this...]
[I’m kidding. Don’t mention his orc costume. It’s kind of… well, cute…]
[When the stone hit Di Changqing's forehead just now, his expression was so unbelievable that his ears stood up straight up~]
[Are you telling riddles again? What bloodline restoration? What passive activation? [Alert.JPG]]
[Is this the tacit understanding between the villain and the protagonist? They even cosplay together? What kind of love-hate relationship is this? [狗头.JPG]]
[Di Changqing: The person who just spoke would be better off sleeping with both eyes on guard tonight!]
[Hahahaha, just say it! I’m not afraid. If he has the guts, just come to the three-dimensional world to hunt me down. Lulululu~]
Yu Tu: “…”
He looked at the comment from the layer master who said that if Di Changqing had the guts, he should come to the three-dimensional world to hunt him down, and silently clicked a thumbs-up, hoping that this layer master would stick to his original intention and stick to it to the end!
The comic mentioned "replenishing the bloodline", and Yu Tu guessed that it should refer to the disappearance of the [Mirror].
The next successor of the alien bloodline will be born only after the previous owner of the bloodline dies. Two Di Ting appeared in the world at the same time... It is unbelievable and against the rules.
Fortunately, the comic book did not act as a riddle teller this time. Yu Tu turned a page and quickly found the answer.
After Di Changqing said "I don't care", the comic inserted a montage of memories -
The overall tone of this montage-style memory is gray. The faces of every character in the background are unclear, and their clothes are blurry. There are men and women, old and young. As long as they appear in the background of the memory, almost everyone has several boxes representing psychological activities on their bodies. There are densely packed people, densely packed boxes, densely packed words... It's almost enough to make people suffer from claustrophobia.
Di Changqing was surrounded by these blurry people, and he was the only one who was clear in his memory. The expression on his face was very cold, and his red pupils were shockingly red in the gray tone.
In the comic, he seemed to be sitting on a tall tree branch, with one leg bent and the other leg dangling. There seemed to be a terrifying malice in his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were red.
Di Zhangqing's eyes moved to the left, and he raised the corner of his lips: "What? You want to use your numbers to bully the few?"
Someone in the blurred crowd shouted, "Di Changqing! You'd better drop out of Chang'an Academy on your own initiative. No one wants to be your classmate!"
"That's right! You'd better drop out of school!"
"No one wants to go to school with you, no one wants to be your classmate!"
"You annoying fellow, stop being a nuisance in Chang'an Academy!"
"Get out of Chang'an Academy as soon as possible!"
…
The echoing dialogue boxes spread like bubbles, stacking up layer by layer.
[Ah... isn't this Tyranny? The number one on the list is so pitiful...]
[As expected, every villain has his or her own sad past, a beautiful, strong and tragic past. Uwuwu——]
[I understand! Di Changqing follows the traditional villain route. He is bullied by everyone because of his personality, so he becomes frustrated and angry and becomes a moody, cold-blooded and ruthless demon!]
Yu Tu looked at the comic readers who were full of indignation and felt that something was wrong - he really couldn't imagine how Di Changqing, who hated people and dogs, would be bullied.
Sure enough, his premonition soon came true.
As memory continued to develop, previous readers fell silent one by one.
[Ah, this, this... Are all the students of Chang'an Academy gentlemen who only talk but don't fight? Why don't you beat him up???]
[Wow! As expected of Chang'an Academy, which sounds awesome, the quality of the students is really high!]
[You won't do anything about this?! You won't fight back?!
I'll pay five bucks and find a Didi driver to take my place! ]
[How shameless! Whoever is his classmate will be unlucky!]
[It’s so funny, who is dominating whom? It’s obviously Di Changqing who is dominating everyone by himself!]
Although the faces of Di Changqing's unfortunate classmates were not depicted in the comic's memories, the events were portrayed very clearly.
According to legend, Di Ting can listen to everything in the world, and is especially good at listening to people's thoughts. Di Changqing's Di Ting bloodline is defective, and before his talent is about to awaken, he gains a passive attached ability - mind reading.
Because it was a passive ability, he had no control over whether it was effective or not, so Di Changqing could often hear the noisy chorus of ten thousand ducks on the stage around the clock.
In order to give readers a deep understanding of how noisy the reader's mind is, the comic features a huge cross-page close-up.
The panel shot before this huge cross-page close-up shows Di Changqing standing on a green hillside. Occasionally, there are two birds singing, and it looks peaceful and tranquil.
But when turning to the double-page spread, Di Changqing stood in the middle of the page, just a tiny dot. He was surrounded by densely packed words, the flowers and plants on the ground, the ants crawling on the stones, the earthworms in the soil, the rabbits passing by, the birds on the trees... As long as the object existed, there was a box above its head representing the heart.
The passively attached [Mind Reading] ability is not to read the inner minds of humans, but to read the voices of all things in this world and convert them into a language that Di Changqing can understand.
[Fuck! This is the first time I feel that words are more annoying than the psychological activities of crying...]
[It’s not the number one’s fault. Anyone who listens to this for 24 hours will go crazy!]
[This is just the relatively quiet back mountain, and the thoughts of plants are relatively simple, and many of them emit exactly the same inner activities. If Di Changqing were thrown into a busy city... I dare not think about it, I dare not think about it, I am so scared that I would cry for help just thinking about it!]
If the story only stopped here, readers would not only understand why Di Zhangqing became a villain, but would even feel more sympathy for him. But... this is just the beginning.
The passive skill that was automatically activated every now and then made Di Changqing very annoyed. The malice in his red eyes became heavier day by day. Finally, one day, after the [Mind Reading] was passively activated, Di Changqing began to make trouble for his classmates.
Either they point out other people's family problems in public, or they reveal other people's privacy. Either they read out loud their classmates' thoughts in front of the whole class, or they anger classmates who already have conflicts...
No matter how kind a person is, some evil thoughts may occasionally pop up in his mind, but these evil thoughts will always be exposed when Di Changqing's passive ability is activated. He will point out these "evil" thoughts, making people feel ashamed and embarrassed, and wishing to bury themselves in the ground.
Di Changqing did these things not because he hated evil, punished evil and promoted good, nor did he do them for revenge or to find fault deliberately, but purely for fun.
If he is unhappy, everyone around him will be unhappy, and if he is unhappy, everyone around him will be unhappy. Even if he is punished for his misbehavior, he will admit his mistakes with a good attitude, but he never repents.
Even when he was questioned in person, he just curled his red eyes and said, "You dare to question me when you can't control your own brain? You are useless~"
The rest of this memory was frozen in Di Changqing's red, mocking eyes. The camera zoomed out again and returned to the present.
The current Di Changqing is not much different from the Di Changqing in that memory, except that his appearance is slightly more mature. He still has the same personality and temper.
"My Lord, how many days do I have to stay like this?" After his appearance changed into a half-beast, Di Changqing's passive ability, which had not been triggered for a long time, was triggered again. No matter where he stayed, his head was buzzing with noise. Only when he was next to the old thing was it the quietest. "If it takes too long, I will have to go kill a few people for fun."
[[Mirror] has completely disappeared in the erosion of time. You are the only one in the world who has the Diting bloodline. Don't worry.]
"Get these things away from me." Di Changqing pointed to his head, "It's so annoying."
There was a sound of scales rubbing against the black stone wall in front of him, but this time there was no response.
Di Changqing frowned, "No way, my Lord, you normally call me for a task, but you just stand by and watch when I need your help? You are so stingy, I will have some opinions in the future."
He muttered under his breath: "What a miser the old man is!"
[Hahahaha, he really doesn’t distinguish between friend and foe when he attacks! He aims to offend everyone equally!]
[xswl! Who subordinate can question the leader so confidently? ]
[Di Zhangqing, you are really good at scolding leaders!]
A black light appeared on the stone wall and blasted Di Changqing out of this world. The voice in Di Changqing's ears suddenly became stronger, but was soon blocked by an invisible force and turned into vague mumbling.
Di Changqing used his spiritual power to condense a mirror. In the mirror, the horn and ears were gone, but when he reached out and touched them, they were still in their original places.
Di Changqing put away the mirror with satisfaction: "Wouldn't it have been better if it had been like this earlier?"
He took a step forward and stepped on his own tail. The pain made his face twisted for a moment: "Hiss———"
When the tail is hidden, it cannot be seen within sight.
Di Changqing groped for his tail and cast a levitation spell on it.
"Since the old man is so knowledgeable--" Di Zhangqing touched his chin, "I'll go and take a look at the task he assigned to Damon~"
He passed through the barrier between the inner and outer worlds and happened to encounter a car accident in this remote place. The person who caused the accident buried the body and planned to escape from the crime.
Di Changqing snapped his fingers, and the vehicle started and rushed down the winding mountain road unexpectedly. Immediately afterwards, an explosion sounded and a raging fire burned.
“I am such a kind-hearted person who does good deeds every day~”
Di Changqing sighed and hummed a song, the positioning teleportation array in his hand glowing brightly.
